The Life Universe

[Hdjensofjfnen]

Here is a small minigame.

On each post, we can place a cell anywhere we want.
You cannot post twice in a row.
Between posts we will advance 1 generation.
The goal? Get as high of a population as possible. If a pattern dies we will restart with the starter.

The starter:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 2, rule = B3/S23
2o$2o!

Gen 1:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = B3/S23
2obo$2o!

[toroidalet]

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
2o$2o$3bo!

Gen 1:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = B3/S23
2obo$2o!

Taking A for awesome's entry since it got in first by one minute --

Seems like it would be nice to see the before and after stages of the pattern. Here are generations 0 and 1, and a candidate Gen 2:

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 7, rule = LifeHistory
9.D16.D$10.D16.D6.A$2A.C7.D4.3A.E7.D4.A.2A$2A5.6D3.3A5.6D3.A.2A$11.D
16.D5.A$10.D16.D$9.D16.D!

A rule should be added where dots have to directly affect the pattern. No adding dots fricking 1000 cells away from the pattern.

Why? Also, Gen 3:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
$3bo10b2o$2bob2obo5bo2b2o$2bob2o7bo2b2o$3bo10b2o!

Gen 3 -> Gen 4

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
b2o18b3o$o2b2o15bo3bo$o2b2o14b2o3bo$3o17b4o$21bo!

As it stands, this evolves into a B heptomino

Gen5:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
5bo2$2b3o$bo3bo$2o3bo$b4o$2bo!

This pattern makes an interesting 3-block constellation

6

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
4bo2$3b2o$2b3o$2obobo$o2bobo$o2b2o$b2o!

9(I methodrcally searched the cell space, and then the final population, and got this:):

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
6bo$6bo$4b4o$3bo$2b2o$3o2b2obo$o4b4o$o6bo$bo3bo$2bo2bo!

You literally just posted my pattern. Did you even read the initial post?

My bad, I'll fix it. 9:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
5b3o2$3b2o3bo$2bo$bo6bo$2o2b5o$b2o$2b4o$3b2o!

Also, did you notice that I said methoDRCally searched the cell space?
